Great collection of London tube maps. I haven't read the text yet, but I
know Maxwell Roberts and am sure it will be excellent.


I bought a copy earlier in the week.

John's right, it is very good indeed. Anyone who enjoyed the wonderful
Mr. Beck's Underground Map" will enjoy this very much, too.

Anyone have a source for a good physical map? That is, something like an A2Z
with a track overlay? The few places I've tried have gone out of stock.

The fold-out ones from the vending machines on the tube are like that.

I'll take a closer look next time. I didn't think those reflected the actual
track locations. Thx.

I'm pretty sure they don't.
